Ideally, a category tree should be sufficiently well-organised that
people don't need a portal, a "list of" article, article series
templates and so forth - you should be able to start at the main
category and find what you need, or stumble upon an article in a
subcategory and find your way through a well-organised category tree.
We're trying to do this with WikiProject Scientology - organise it in
an NPOV presentation without having to use project-specific style
guidelines. Having to use these is IMO a failure. Not always a major
or avoidable one, but a failure nevertheless.
